Making Protons Accessible

Access to Proton Therapy is complicated by the restricted number of centers, the timing issues of cancer as a demanding disease, and the costs. PI has addressed these by starting a Proton Access Program to provide patients and physicians with the tools to make this treatment available.

Penn research finds gap between policy language and eventual decisions

Researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have poured through five years of pediatric insurance claims and thier outcomes. The surprising result is that 97% of the denied claims pediatric claims were approved after they were challenged. A good summary of the findings was described in the UPENN article as:

"The Penn team looked at five years of insurance coverage data for pediatric proton cases in the Roberts Proton Therapy Center spanning from 2010 to 2015. Of the 287 cases they evaluated, 255 (89 percent) were approved outright while 32 (11 percent) were initially denied. Following appeals, 31 of 32 initially denied cases (97 percent) were overturned and approved."
